First Effect

【Regarding the ① effect】

This effect is not classified as an Ignition Effect, Trigger Effect, Quick Effect, or Continuous Effect.

A Chain Link is not built when performing a Summon by applying this effect.

When performing a Summon using this effect, you must inform your opponent that you are performing a Summon via this effect.

Since you can only perform a Normal Summon of a Spirit monster (placing a monster from your hand onto the Monster Zone in face-up Attack Position) by applying this effect, you cannot Set it. Additionally, if you perform a Normal Summon of a Level 5 or higher monster, Tributes are required just as they are for a normal Tribute Summon.

Even if this card is no longer face-up in the Monster Zone after it was Summoned, you can still apply this effect to perform a Summon during your Main Phase of that turn.

This effect activates only once, provided this card that was Summoned or flipped face-up remains face-up in the Monster Zone until the End Phase of that turn.
